White fringe appears around text in exported images?

Hey all, I'm having some problems when I export an image that has no background and antialiased text. No matter what format I save it in or in what way I save it (Save for web and devices, Save as), this white outline always comes up. However, in photoshop, I never see this.
Below is an example, where on the left is a screenshot of the image in photoshop with a black background layer underneath it, and on the right is the .PNG after export with a black layer underneath.

Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to fix it?

It is PNG 24 you're using, right?
You actually appear to have a light fringe in both cases in the 'a'.
What layer styles do you have active? I 'm thinking you may have an "inner glow" effect active.
I'm just not seeing the fringe that you are when I mock up what you've done, but I'm just guessing at the effects you've used.
Can you post a small PSD with these fonts in them?
Here's the PNG from the above:

Help! How do I get rid of this annoying outline around text after exporting to a PNG

I designed a text document in illustrator and it looks great...in illustrator. As soon as I export it to a PNG, an annoying outline around text appears. What do I do?????

For text or 1-color items you can try the .gif format for sharper edges.
Try changing the color of your matte to what the colro of the background is. The image will lok bad, unless you put that on top of your background.

New Iphone 4S - Will not slide, white line appears around it like a box

I bought an Iphone 4S yesterday and when I try unlock it will not allow me. I try to slide across and the box appears around it. If I happen to get it unlocked after pressing for awhile it does the same with any apps I press on. The white link/box appears around the apps.
I have tried to re-boot and that did not work (Using home and sleep button together until the Apple logo appeared)

How to erase thin white line that automatically appears around edited figure in image? (CS6)

A thin white border around the figure that I had edited appeared out of nowhere. I was able to erase it before editing the background but now I can't erase it or remember how I did that.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this line? If by setting the eraser color to the background color, how do I do that? As I get rid of the line, I'd also like to refine the figure's outline so it becomes cleaner.

Can I assume by "had edited," that you had someone else edit the image for you? If so, they need to create their mask selection one or two pixels inward from the edge of the figure, preferrably at a higher resolution than your jpeg.
If the document is multi-layered, you "could" use the eraser tool and manually erase the line on the figure layer. This is tedious compared to other methods. If the document is already flat (one layer) and you want to do it this (tedious) way, you should rather choose a small paintbrush (instead of the eraser) with the background color. Again, if the figure and the background color are not on separate layers, a better way might be to select the background color (magic wand tool or Select>Color Range...) and then Select>Modify>Expand 1 pixel, then fill with the background color. Better yet, learn about Refine Edge... to get a better selection and do the same thing.
None of the above methods is the best way, but only mentioned if the document is not multi-layered (with the figure on one layer and the background on another).
Other than those "simple" methods, to get a really good knockout selection, use the path tool and "draw" the edge of the figure, one or two pixels inside the figure, and use that as your selection, and make a layer mask of the selection, showing the selection, which will cause the background to be hidden. Then on a layer underneath, you can fill with any color. But if you had someone else do this for you, they should have known to do that way in the first place.

White lines appear around placed images in printing.

A native Illustrator document with placed Photoshop (both CS6) images produces whites lines around the placed images when printed. The Illustrator document does not show white lines on screen. Nor does the PDF (Acrobat X Pro) generated from the IA doc show white lines when viewed on screen. When the document goes to press, the printed product show the white lines:
See upper left image and lower right image-note: other images are not affected. Both both are native Photoshop images, placed on a gradient in IA. Perhaps the PDF settings: "Adobe PDF Preset" or "Standard" are not chosen correctly? Why the white lines?

You screenshot shows a modified Illustrator Default preset with Compatability to Acrobat 4. That setting always flattens transparency which is what I would suggest avoiding first.
Note the Warnings summary alerts that transparency will be flattened.

2.That same initial 'Save Adobe PDF' widow allows for three settings: Adobe PDF Preset (12 choices); Standard (6 choices), and Compatibility (5 choices). Note how the window signals a Warning (Warnings: Saving this file with Compatibilty set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) requires items with transparency to be flattened.) Could this be a warning that produces the stitch lines in the actual printing?
Yes

After researching....
Discussion seems to indicate seeing 'stiching lines' on screen; sometimes in the designing application; or in the generated PDF. My instances are visible only in printing-in two of the four images.
1. Transparency. Is this an automatic occurence in generating the PDF? Can I turn it on/off? (The 'Save Adobe PDF' window that allows changes to: General, Compression, Marks & Bleeds,Output,, Advanced.....)
Transparency is part of some design and all Effects. Note that you can change a color by using a tint or by setting it's transparency. Many times a tint will suffice. It looks the same and has the same values.
Your original screenshot apears to use images with clipping paths. (Full disclosure - I should know this, but don't...I expect) clipping paths require/invoke the transparent background to place the images within the colored area.
You cannot get around transparency but flattening converts vector objects to raster objects (when transparency touches/abuts/interacts with raster images).
You should be able to use the Illustrator Default, High Quality Print or PDFX-4 to maintain live transparency

An unwanted white border appears around image after dragging it to the document. Why? How to get rid of border?

Thanks.
Bob

The primary image that I'm concerned with is a jpg file, 74kb, 642x402. Also used same image at 53kb, 400x249.
Here's some good info.
I tried using same image on an old Pages document I made last yr - No border. And - I used an image from the old flyer and put it on the current flyer and - got a Border.
A difference: the flyer I used last yr was a blank document - no template. The current flyer I'm working on is one I chose from the templates with the tear-offs at the bottom for name and phone number.
Is there something intrinsic with this template that creates a border around images?
How do I do a screensnap? If you still need.
Thanks again.

White boxes appear around drop shadows in PDF's

I'm exporting a file from InDesign CS3 that contains several graphics that have a drop shadow applied to them (added in InDesign NOT Illustrator). When I view the PDF, there are white boxes that appear behind the graphics with the drop shadows. I need to use the 'Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)' setting from the PDF export dialogue box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes having drop shadows on images (imported) that have spot colors causes this. Converting them to process or RGB helps. I know that applies to imported graphics but it may apply to graphics created in InD sgn. Are your graphics set up in spot colors?

White jagged lines around text

I've just created some text with gradient it appears with strange white jagged lines arount it.
it's hard to notice them, but they're very disturbing.
(I'm talking about the text under the illustration)

Can't see any jagged lines at this zoom level. Can you please post another screenshot after zooming in some more with the Text selected? Include the Appearance panel in your screenshot.

Why am I having lines/borders appearing around my placed Illustrator images in my Indesign Document?

After I save my InDesign Document and close it... When I open it back up again. There are borders around all of my Illustrator placed images.
I can't seem to find out what is causing them or how to get rid of them.
When I am working on the file with it open they are not there.. it's only after I save, close and reopen.
What the heck????

Thanks for asking Will....
I've gotten so confused with back issues of the file....saved in InDesign CC that I just started over..
Was simpler to do that than to try to fix the one I was working on.....
But while I have you trying to help me..
Could you tell me how to set the document setup for a new document in InDesign CC to inches?
I tried going into the preferences.... it's not there.. Looked through all of the preferences.. still can't find it.
The documents I'm working on are 47" x 28" or thereabouts and I am having to go back to InDesign 5.5
create the document there then open it in InDesign CC to have it the right size.
Thanks for your help!

Thin white lines appearing across text when opening PDF in photoshop

Hello, I had recently asked a question about having issues with my transparency flattening for printing.
So I moved away from that and am now using X4-2008 to make my PDFs. Everything was great, except my printer said he prints from photoshop and so I should check all documents in photoshop before sending them.
But lo and behold what shows up (but DOESN'T show up in acrobat)
Thanks in advance! And before you ask, yes the text is on a different layer than any of the transparencies. After I kept getting this problem i kept trying to figure it out.

You are giving him a PDF file.
The problem is that he is literally ruining the content of the file by converting the PDF file to a raster image in Photoshop and then printing that, in other words it looks like your printer is using Photoshop as a “poor man's RIP!” The transparency effects in your PDF/X-4 file are being flattened at whatever resolution your printer sets the Photoshop image to be. In fact, transparency blending should be performed at the printer's RIP where such flattening artifacts that you are seeing are avoided.
You say you don't have your choice of printer?
Would you say you don't have your choice of physician if a doctor told you he was going to do an appendectomy by operating through your nose? Would you claim you don't have your choice of physician?
Professional incompetence is professional incompetence. If you have a “printer” who is really printing PDF files by opening them in Photoshop and printing directly from Photoshop to the device somehow, you are dealing with demonstrable incompetence!
The advice to find another printer is the best advice that we (including Adobe) can provide to you!

Mysterious white outline appearing around smart object

Hi. Actually not sure if this is an Illustrator issue or Photoshop.
In a psd file I have a Smart Object created in Illustrator. It is just some basic shapes that I merged together into one shape with a fill color (#FF28FF), no stroke.
Although there is no stroke, when looking at the Smart Object in Photoshop, there seems to be a very thin white outline around the shape. I've double checked again and can't find any reason for this white outline to exist. I'd like to stress that this white outline is very subtle, yet definitely visible.
I've uploaded a sample of what I'm talking about here:
[IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/az7v3n.jpg[/IMG]
It's driving me crazy. Can someone please explain to me how to get rid of it, or what is causing this?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Mike. My monitor is pretty new. I got it only about two months ago. It's a Dell u2311h. I don't have the hardware to properly calibrate it, so I've been using settings recommended by people on forums (with the same model and revision) who DO have such equipment. I know this not ideal at all and that different units vary from one another inspite of being same make and model.... but this is the best I can do right now.
Out of curiousity, assuming that you are correct, I went into my monitor settings and played around with the rgb. The white outline that I'm seeing did seem to vanish when bringing the Green way down, but the colors were completely wacked at that point.
I did try catching the info with the eye-dropper and it did not detect any white. So I guess it is a calibration issue. If you have any suggestions for solving this issue without calibration hardware, I'd be happy to hear them.
Thanks!

White lines appear on videos since my new Mac Pro - Why?

Hello,
I'm the happy owner of a Mac Pro 2,7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 64 gig RAM / 2X AMD FirePro D700 6144 Mo running on OS X 10.9.3 (13D65).
I'm using CC latest version but also Red Giant Magic Bullet LOOKS to color grade my videos (on an adjustment layer). I have 3 HDD (1 SSD in the computer with the programs + 1 external (Thunderbold) G-RAID for cache files + 1 external Pegasus R6 2 (Thunderbolt 2) for the footage).
Sometimes, when reading (but more often when exporting in Media Encoder) white lines appear on the video (see image below). Why?
Is that a Premiere problem? Is something going wrong with my Mac? I have already reinstalled everything from scratch but the problem remains...
I was working with the same programs on my previous iMac and I didn't have this problem.
Any idea ?

Is it an Adobe or a Mac Pro 2013 related problem? Does everyone using the GPU acceleration have the same problem?
So far, it appears to be an issue with OS X 10.9.2 and up. Some folks that are beta testing 10.9.4 have reported that the strange artifacts no longer appear while using Hardware mode, but a few folks are still having Premiere crashes with it. My suspicion is that we're seeing two separate problems with Premiere on the new Mac Pro when using Hardware mode: 1) artifacts, lines, etc on exports and 2) application crashes. Neither of these appear to happen when Pr and AME are put into Software mode. Given the commonality of the problems (using GPUs on the new Mac Pro) some folks seem to think they're directly related. My gut tells me they aren't.
The challenge for the folks at Adobe and other third party app developers is that the boys (and girls) in Cupertino are changing things within OS X a bit too quickly, for better, for worse. Some of these changes are what I call "ninja patches" where they don't really explain what they're changing or why. I strongly suspect that's what's going on here. They sneaked something into OS X 10.9.2 and haven't un-sneaked it yet. Folks are strongly encouraging Adobe to address this issue pronto, but if Cupertino keeps altering the guts of the OS, how can they?

White lines appear in PDF

I have a user that is having white lines appear around different objects in PDFs when she attaches them into Mail. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution. I can't find anything searching it.

Clarify please: not only does the recipient see these white lines, but she also sees them as she composes the message and attaches the PDF?
Would it be possible for me to see an example of this? If so, my email address can be found by clicking on my name to the left of this post, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile. I have Acrobat 9, btw, as well as other apps to examine it with.

Hi graphicscoordinator,
There currently isn't a option in FormsCentral to remove the rule that appears around text fields. There is a Feature Request form where you can sumbit your request for this feature, however. Visit https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=XnF-KJVCovcEVQz9tZHYPQ.

Export indesign document to pdf white strokes around text

Hello there, I have this problem, I am exporting an indesign document to interactive pdf, and the problem seams to appear, when I open the created pdf in adobe reader x, it shows some of the text with white outlines, and the text looks very thick. When previewed in indesign, it looks perfect, text looks crisp. I also opened the pdf document with apples preview, and in preview it looks fine! But in adobe reader it looks horible, I tried adobe readers on other computers, and they all show up with the outline. What causes this anoying issue? plase help, thanks

We'd have to see the file to know for sure, but this sounds like a transparency flattening issue. Thickened text is indicative of it being converted to outlines, whcih can happen when it interacts with transparency. It's not clear if your white lines are around theindividual glyphs, or around the entire areas. The latter is also a common flattenign artifact called "stitching" that shows up on screen and in low resoution printing.
The first bit of advice is to keep your text at the top of the stacking order, above transparency, shadows, and other effects. It sometimes helps to have a top layer just for text. The way to eliminate these artifacts 100% of the time is to not flatten transparency at all, which is possible in Print PDFs, but alas, not in Interactive.
